Review on 💪 Olee Sleep 18 Inch Tall Heavy Duty Steel Slat Mattress Foundation with Maximum Storage - Easy Assembly, Anti-slip Support, Noise Free - No Box Spring Needed, Black Design by Theresa Lewis

When I was researching this on Revain I read 17 pages of questions. Throughout all 17 pages, people have consistently asked the same 10 questions, so I'll try to answer them here so you don't have to spend an hour reading the questions and answers. We bought the King version and use it with a 13-inch Costco memory foam mattress. This is a review from day one so I will update it in a month. Delivery: weighs 59 pounds. Cardstock measures 42 x 21 x 6 inches. Was well packaged for shipping. When ordering, there was no indication of when it would arrive. We ordered it on Thursday, it was shipped via UPS on Monday and it arrived on Wednesday (a day earlier than stated on the delivery confirmation). Assembly: Instructions are presented as pictograms on a single sheet of paper and are easy to understand. They're written in English, but you don't really need the words. There are six long extruded pieces of metal that make up the perimeter of the bed, with an eighth running down the middle. Three long pieces are folded together with the legs. The four parts that make up the top and bottom are simply screwed together with no moving parts. The instructions are simple. Just lay out all the parts and then start attaching. The only bad part of the instructions is that they named the parts "A" and "A1" (for the top of the bed) and "B" and "B1" (for the bottom) but then the instructions say " A1* 1" and "A *". 1" to indicate there is one of each, so just read carefully. The parts are not marked on the metal but if you look closely at the diagram you will see that the A parts have slots for attaching the headboard while the B parts do not. It took my wife and I less than 15 minutes to complete the assembly and she could have done it herself. None of the individual parts are heavy. By far the hardest part was lifting the mattress onto the finished frame (a king-size mattress is heavy). The only equipment is two long bolts with nuts and 12 short bolts without nuts. They give you the hex key and wrench you need so no other tools are required. Everything was easy to attach. Finally, you put the metal rails in the brackets. The four slats have red dots that match the red dots in the middle of the bed. These slots have small tabs on the ends that snap into small holes on the plank holders. Slats and Slats: There are 9 rectangular extruded metal slats on each side of the bed. Each plank is ½ inch wide at the top and 8 inches apart (from the center of one plank to the center of the next). The top of the slats is ½ inch below the top of the frame. This provides a lip to keep your mattress or box spring in place and it fits our memory foam king size mattress very snugly so the mattress will NOT move. Mattress/box spring bed: You don't need a box spring bed, although you can use one. The frame is 18 inches high so the box spring and mattress would be a very high bed. On our 13-inch memory foam mattress without a box spring, the top of the mattress is nearly 32 inches off the floor. If you have a conventional mattress, you can place it directly on the slatted frame without a box spring bed. If you have a memory foam mattress without a box spring, you should put something in between to keep the foam from pushing through the slats. You can probably use a sheet of cardboard, but any other material (chipboard, pegboard, thin plywood) will do. If you're looking to fit something like this, note that the inside dimensions of that lip I mentioned are 75.5" x 79.5" so you'll need something smaller. Then cut it in half to fit in your truck or SUV for transport. My wife and I decided not to put anything between our memory foam and the planks. Upon reading the answers to the questions, about 1/3 of memory foam owners did the same as us, and about 2/3 bought something in between. 1/3 reported little to no issues with memory foam leaking between the fins and so far we are forecasting very few issues on day one. Parquet floors: We have good parquet floors. All parts of the frame that touch the ground have plastic end caps to protect the ground, but my wife didn't trust that so she bought little rubber squares to put under the legs. The king bed version has 9 legs so you will need 9 2" x 2" square rubber pads. Appearance: If you don't put anything under the bed, you can do without feather dusters. The metal looks ornate. It's black metal with right angles (nothing is rounded). If you store things under your bed, you should hide the frame. A traditional duster will be too short as the frame is 18 inches tall. To one of the questions, the woman replied that she made the panels out of fabric and attached them to the frame with Velcro. We intend to. Quality: After assembling, it was very quiet. I weigh 275 pounds and the bed didn't move or creak at all when I lay on it and rolled around. When I got on all fours and shook back and forth there was a very slight creaking, but not at all like our old bed. Most respondents and reviewers said that there is NO squeaking, even with heavy people doing a horizontal mambo. UPDATE: There is an EXTREMELY faint creaking sound as the bed shakes on certain actions. I doubt anyone would have heard if they were 40 feet away. Slightly disappointing but doesn't change my assessment as almost every bed squeaks more than this one.
